        <footnote id="F2">These are deferred shares originally granted under AMR's 2008/2010 Performance Share Plan.  The AMR Board's Compensation Committee determined on April 20, 2011 that the performance criteria under the plan were acheived at 50%, and thus 50% of the initial grant vested on April 20, 2011.  At the time of the initial grant, the number of shares reported was the target award (or 100%).  The securities reflected in this column, equal to 50% of the shares initially granted, were therefore forfeited.</footnote>
